George Strait Vol.2-Greatest Hits Lyrics
1.All My Ex's Live In Texas

Chorus:
All my ex's live in texas
And texas is the place i'd dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in texas
And that's why i hang my hat in tennessee

Rosanna's down in texarkana
Wanted me to push her broom
Sweet eileenõs in abilene
She forgot i hung the moon
And allisonõs in galveston
Somehow lost her sanity
And dimpleõs who now lives in temple's
Got the law looking for me

Chorus

I remember that old frio river
Where i learned to swim
But it brings to mind another time
Where i wore my welcome thin
By transcendental meditation
I go there each night
But i always come back to myself
Long before daylight

All my ex's live in texas
And texas is the place id dearly love to be
But all my ex's live in texas
Therefore i reside in tennessee

Some folks think i'm hidin'
It's been rumored that i died
But i'm alive and well in tennessee


2.Am I Blue

Chorus:
Am i blue
Yes i'm blue
It started the day i lost you
Nobody ever loved somebody like i do
Am i blue
Am i blue

Just this mornin'
Over coffee
I sat there cryin'
Cause you're gone long gone
I didn't know just how much
I was gonna miss you
Till i spent my first night alone
Am i blue
Yes i'm blue
How could i have been such a fool
Now look at all the misery i'm going through
Am i blue
Am i blue
Tried to call and say i'm sorry
I couldn't get you on the line
You'll never know just how much
I'm wishin' you would show up
And say you've changed your mind

Chorus:


3.Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind

Cold fort worth beer just ain't no good for jealous
I've tried it night after night
You're in someone else's arms in dallas
Does fort worth ever cross your mind
Darlin' while you're busy burnin' bridges
Burn one for me if you get time
Cause good memories don't fade so easy
Does fort worth ever cross your mind
You left me here to be with him in dallas
And i know ithurt you at the time
Well i wonder now if it makes a difference
Does fort worth ever cross your mind
You left me here to be with him in dallas
And i know it hurt you at the time
Well i wonder now if it makes a difference
Does fort worth ever cross your mind
Does fort worth ever, does fort worth ever
Does fort worth ever cross your mind


4.It Ain't Cool To Be Crazy About You

I thought you and me were something special
Thought you thought that way too
Now i know that this old boy just ain't the
Best you think you'll ever do

Chorus:
It ain't cool
To be crazy about you
It ain't suave or debonair
To let you know i care
Like i do
It ain't smart
To be so reckless with my heart
I should've known right from the start
I'd end up like a fool
Believe me it ain't cool

All of my friends they tried to tell me
What and what not to do
It took a while for them to sell me
But finally they got through

Chorus:


5.Nobody In His Right Mind Would've Left Her

I burn with desire each time my heart fans the fire
To that old flame that burns inside of me
She cried when i left her, now i try to forget her
Oh how foolish i was to ever wanna leave

Chorus:
Because nobody in his right mind would've left her
I had to be crazy to say good bye
Nobody in his right mind could've left her
Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind

I still carry her picture
I wish her well with the new love i know she's found by now
Each night finds me dreamin', each day i spend thinkin'
How much i wish she was still around

Chorus

Even my heart was smart enough to stay behind


6.Ocean Front Property

If you leave me
I won't miss you
And i won't ever take you back
Girl your memory
Won't ever haunt me
Cause i don't love you
Now if you'll buy that

Chorus:
Iõve got some ocean front property in arizona
From my front porch you can see the sea
Iõve got some ocean front property in arizona
An if you'll buy that i'll throw the golden gate in free

I don't worship
The ground you walk on
I never have and that's a fact
I won't follow or try to find you
Cause i don't love you
Now if you'll buy that

Chorus

Chorus

Yeah if you'll buy that i'll throw the golden gate in free


7.The Cowboy Rides Away

I knew the stakes were high right from the start
When she dealt the cards i dealt my heart
Now i just found a game that i can't play
And this is where the cowboy rides away

Chorus:
And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things i wish i'd done
It's time to say good bye to yesterday
This is where the cowboy rides away

We've been in and out of love and in between
And now we play the final showdown scene
And as the credits role a sad song starts to play
This is where the cowboy rides away

And my heart is sinking like the setting sun
Setting on the things i wish i'd done
Oh the last good bye's the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away

Oh the last good bye's the hardest one to say
This is where the cowboy rides away


8.The Fireman

They call me the fireman
That's my name
Makin' my rounds all over town
Puttin' out old flames

Well everybody'd like to have what i've got
I can cool 'em down while they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman
That's my name

Last night they had a bad one a mile or two down the road
Well my buddy walked out and left this woman burnin out of
control
Well i was down there in 'bout an hour or so
With a little mouth to mouth she was ready to go
I'm the fireman that's my name

They call me the fireman
That's my name
Makin' my rounds all over town puttin' out all flames
Well everybody'd like to have what i've got
I can cool 'em down while they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman that's my name...burn 'em up

I've got fire-engine red t-bird automobile
In a minute or less i can be dressed fit to kill
I work twenty-four on and twenty-four off
When they get too hot, they just give me a call
I'm the fireman, that's my name

They call me the fireman, that's my name
Makin my rounds all over town puttin' out old flames
Well everybody'd like to have what i've got
I can cool 'em down while they're smolderin' hot
I'm the fireman, that's my name

They call me the fireman
That's my name.
